Boing into Christmas! A magical dance theatre show for families at Déda

On Sunday 13 October, join two boys in the Déda Theatre who just can’t wait for Christmas morning.

Presented by Travelling Light Theatre Company and Bristol Old Vic, Boing! is an energetic piece of children’s dance theatre which captures the delirious excitement of waiting for Father Christmas to arrive.

Combining comedy, acrobatics and Breakdance, two boys who are far too excited to sleep are drawn into wilder and wilder games that transform their bed into a giant trampoline. The ensuing chaos is guaranteed to leave children bursting with Christmas spirit.

Boing! has been created by Travelling Light Theatre Company in collaboration with Brisol Old Vic and Champloo Dance company. The show has been directed by children’s theatre specialist Sally Cookson, and choreographed by Wilkie Branson and Joel Daniel – two leading B-Boys and co-founders of Champloo Dance Company.

Following a tour in 2010, Boing! attracted rave reviews from audiences and critics alike.

Boing! is perfect for children aged 3+ and their families. The show will be performed on Sunday 13 October at 11am and 3pm.

Tickets are £7 and are available from the Déda Box Office on 01332 370911 or online at www.deda.uk.com.
